However Huddersfield is a bit on an exception. It won&#39;t win any beauty contests, but hasn&#39;t the blatant aggressiveness of a Leeds, the sullen threat of a Barnsley, the decaying seediness of a Rotherham, the chip-on-the-shoulder of a Doncaster, or the sleeping giant pretentions of the Sheffields. The locals have the gloomy resignation that if something can go wrong it will go wrong one finds amongst football supporters everywhere - but seems to be cultivated to perfection as a way of life by those from Huddersfield ;-). It is also a great beer town. Discovered The Grove towards the end of our visits - a superb pub. After a brief convergence our clubs have diverged again in different directions, and Huddersfield is one of the dates in the season miss the most.Huish Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018873617827755074noreply@blogger.com
